Second Serve

4am...

Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2008

It's been a while since I slept earlier than midnight. I initially thought that it was just my bodyclock acting all bitchy from all the traveling, but I've been stagnant at home for about a month now and nothing seemed to change! Also, for the past couple of days I have been sleeping on or minutes after 4am. The first night was excusable. My cousin, a family friend, and I went to a salsa club (shameless plug: pictures here =P), and obviously the adrenaline (even from just driving them all over the town) kept me up for a while. Then last night, I had a test the morning after, I was therefore procrastinating until, yep, 4am. And here we go again... it's exactly 3:55 as I'm typing this. Oops. 3:56. So does this mean I only have 4 minutes left 'til I get knocked out??

How is it that I'm presently a "medical" student yet I don't know what's happening with my body. OMG! Is that you, insomnia?? Fuck off! I'm over you! I've moved on! Leave me alone!!!

deb said...: yikes....for me the cure for insomnia is to tire myself out during the day. as in do extraneous work/activity so you'll be so exhausted your body will just have to give up and sleep. hope you get your beauty rest soon!; July 23, 2008 3:19 PM

So my usual resort is to simply go with its flow. If I can't sleep, then fine, I just get up & get busy. Sleep will come naturally once I've exhausted myself enough.; July 28, 2008 3:37 AM
